    11:50 This is a good summation of how important Britain and the Royal Navy viewed the campaigns in the Mediterranean theater, including the landings in Sicily and Italy. As Americans (and occasionally British) looking at Naval actions during WWII, many of us concentrate overly on the Atlantic and Pacific, often overlooking the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean actions.

    This was a brilliant discussion between these two excellent historians expounding on the Royal Navy's respect for the Regia Marina (and the Regia Aeronautica) as a serious threat to the control of the Mediterranean during WW2. Forcing the British to expend resources there in late 1941 through 1943 prevented them from being able to build an offensive fleet in the far east. I would say that the Italian forces helped Japan more than it did Germany, despite the success of the Axis forces in North Africa that the efforts of the Italians helped to supply. If only the Regia Marina had had a bit of time to modernize her ships with radar and improved gunnery techniques.

    The Royal Navy has always regarded the Regia Marina as an equal force, especially in the Med. This is largely due to something the RN very much respects - a nation's Naval History. As a descendant of arguably the oldest continuous Naval tradition in the world, the Regia Marina very much "Knows how to Navy", and when on their home seas are enough to make any opposing Captains concerned.
    It's just unfortunate that having such a long history allows the inevitable periodic screwups to pile up, dragging the reputation of the RM down in the popular consciousness. Be it the inter-fleet rivalries at Lissa, or the inconsistent shell loading issues of WW2, when you have as much history as the Regia Marina, it is the failures that are remembered, not the successes...

    Excellent video from both wonderful presenters
    Drach's thoughts are always insightful, the RN see's German ships and goes Attack!!. See's Italian ships and has to plan it out way more thoroughly
    One minor point I've noticed before I'd like to bring up is Drach keeps saying at Coral Sea the US lost 1 fleet carrier and damage to another in exchange for 1 light carrier.
    Actually in addition to that the Japanese also had damage to a fleet carrier that required dockyard repair facilities and the second carriers air group was decimated to the extent she was essentially out of action due to Japanese pilot/carrier policy.

    • @ulfosterberg9116
      @ulfosterberg9116 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You are right, but looking at it the other way around a carrier needing a dockyard would not have been a big problem for the US. And 50 naval pilots dead would be a small unpleasantness. For the Japanese, that was two first degree catastrophes.

    Ancora una volta ho imparato una cosa con un diverso angolo visuale. Era evidente e l'avevamo sotto gli occhi quanto avete detto nell'intervista, cioè che la Royal Navy aveva preso molto seriamente la minaccia della Regia Marina e finalmente questo spiega sia il numero di navi impiegate nel Mediterraneo sia la potente disinformazione messa in campo per farci passare come un branco di buffoni incapaci, mentre loro erano quelli forti.
    Ripenso anche a quanto detto dall'Ammiraglio Santarini quando si riferisce alla creazione del mito della Bismarck che affonda una sola nave e poi viene braccata senza pietà fino alla sua distruzione. Praticamente mezza Home Fleet per una sola nave da battaglia.
    L'osso duro per la Royal Navy per quanto riguarda le navi di superficie siamo stati noi per 39 lunghi mesi.

Guarda che con tutti i nostri limiti, la regia marina non era la marina di un qualunque paese sudamericano con cui la Royal navy giocava a bocce, ma una delle cinque potenze...la più debole forse, ma sempre potenza. Se non la prendevi sul serio poteva farti molto male. Poi che la metà delle volte ci tiravamo la zappa sui piedi è un altro discorso. 😂 Non dimenticare che 20 anni prima abbiamo imbottigliato in adriatico e preso a schiaffi l'intera marina austro ungarica...mica cazzi. Una potenza maggiore. Le cose non funzionavano spesso, ma quando funzionavano eravamo pericolosissimi

    A me pare un po' ottimista il sig. Drachinifel sul ruolo della Regia Marina confrontandolo con gli impegni inglesi contro la Kriegsmarine.
    Quest'ultima (u-boote a parte) era abbastanza più piccola della nostra e condusse esclusivamente una guerra di corsa condotta al massimo con due navi alla volta (tranne la campagna di Norvegia) logico che gli inglesi dovessero solo preoccuparsi di difendere i convogli e precludere gli sbocchi verso l'Atlantico.
    L'unica guerra che potesse prevedere degli scontri fra squadre era nel Mediterraneo, niente di strano che vi tenessero abbastanza forze, comunque mai le loro corazzate moderne, riservate a sfidare Bismarck e Scharnorst.
    Neanche vedo alcuna timidezza di impiego: a Punta Stilo arrivarono a pochi km dalle coste calabre rischiando grosso, a Capo Teulada erano in netta inferiorità (infatti costò il posto a Campioni), si azzardarono fino a bombardare Genova, a Gaudo mi pare normale che degli incrociatori leggeri ingaggiati dai nostri pesanti e poi dalla Vittorio Veneto si ritirassero, non capisco che altro avrebbero potuto fare.
    Pur col pericolo delle nostre corazzate non rinunciarono mai a inviare convogli a Malta protetti da unità minori riuscendovi quasi sempre.
    E se usavano unità minori era più che altro per il pericolo mortale della Luftwaffe nel canale di Sicilia, come avevano imparato abbondantemente nell'evacuazione di Creta.
    Che il pericolo dei tedeschi fosse molto superiore a quello della Regia lo certificano numeri che qui ho già proposto
    Navi da guerra inglesi affondate nel Mediterranneo 68
    dai tedeschi 43 (Fra cui 1 corazzata e 2 portaerei)
    dagli italiani 17
    dalle mine e altro 8
    La nostra marina di superficie in tutto affondò due cacciatorpediniere e due incrociatori (gli incrociatori dai MAS e dai barchini).
    Forse gli inglesi ci temevano ma queste cifre non mi pare giustifichino il timore.

      @@Italian_Military_Archives "Aridaje" anche voi...:) vi siete assunti il lodevole ma ingrato compito di rivalutare l'operato della Regia Marina nella IIGM e questo comporta essere criticati da chi si è formato su una scuola di pensiero ben diversa, cioè quella della gran parte degli storici navali.
      Il vostro tentativo dico che è lodevole perchè è giusto sentire anche una campana che va in direzione opposta alla chiamiamola "vulgata" delle scarse prestazioni della nostra marina.
      Ma i fatti sono fatti, se mi ostino a fornire quei numeri (ma non solo, il mio post è dedicato principlamente ad altro) è per fornire un elemento in più di giudizio, e un elemento che a me pare tutt'altro che trascurabile.
      In molte di queste ricostruzioni mi pare faccia sempre capolino la vecchia teoria della "fleet in being": la nostra marina avrebbe dato un contributo essenziale alla guerra dell'Asse semplicemente continuando a esistere come deterrente anzichè farsi massacrare come quelle tedesca e giapponese.
      E gli inglesi sarebbero stati intimoriti da questa presenza.
      I miei "numerini" mi pare dimostrino il contrario: se gli inglesi si sono dovuti impegnare duramente nel Mediterraneo è stato per la presenza dei tedeschi, senza i quali le nostre marine e aeronautica avrebbero potuto ben poco.
      A questi si potrebbero aggiungere anche i numeri della marina mercantile che fu in gran parte distrutta da navi, aerei e sommergibili inglesi, quella marina che avrebbe dovuto essere protetta dalle nostre unità da guerra che evidentemente non vi riuscirono, per quanto eroicamente impegnatesi nel compito.
      Vi si potrebbero anche aggiungere i numeri delle navi mercantili inglesi affondate, in buona parte dai tedeschi.
      Insomma ragazzi se per voi i numeri non contano nulla e pensate che possano essere sostituiti da (per me) vaghe considerazioni di strategia navale che mi pare la maggior parte degli storici non considerino molto che posso dirvi?

    The Mediterranean is a completely different scenario from the North or Central Atlantic, mainly because of the air threat from the Axis, as is the case for the Regia Marina in relation to the Kriegsmarine, at least in terms of the number of units available, hence the build-up of forces by the RN. But Drachinifel always feels the need to underestimate certain adversaries as much as possible, and not always objectively.
    For example, the RN deployed the following units in the hunt for the Bismarck: 6 Battleships, 2 Aircraft Carriers, 3 Battle Cruisers, 13 Cruisers and 33 Destroyers.

      Additionally, in terms of aerial threat, for Kriegsmarine surface unit containment, the main objective was to stop them getting out of the North Sea or intercept them shortly thereafter (not that this always worked). In that area, the Luftwaffe was very much a threat, much as the Regoa Aeronautica and later FK X was in the Med.
      But in the end, the single largest and most powerful fleet the RN put to sea before the British Pacific Fleet in WW2 was in the Med, to guard against a primarily Italian air/sea threat.

      Nel Mediterraneo del resto la Royal Navy si occupò praticamente solo di interdire i rifornimenti per l'Africa e rifornire Malta.
      Tranne che a Punta Stilo e a Matapan non cercarono mai lo scontro con la squadra da battaglia italiana, immagino perchè tale scontro sarebbe dovuto avvenire in acque dominate dalla Luftwaffe e dall'Aeronautica.
      Infatti fino al febbraio 1941 gli inglesi intervennero con navi maggiori a Punta Stilo, Capo Teulada, Tobruk, Taranto e Genova, cioè in acque italiane.
      Ma dal gennaio '41 erano arrivati in Sicilia gli Stukas e gli Ju88 e per gli inglesi la pacchia finì.
      Gli avvenimenti poi dell'evacuazione di Creta dimostrarono quanto fosse pericoloso per la RN arrivare a tiro della Luftwaffe.
